Long.Distance Riding.

A recent event of interest has been
a long.distance ride, which. by direc-
ton of the General, and with the
sanction of Lord Wolseley, was under-
taken by Lieutenant Maryon Wilson Of
the Thirteenth Hussars.
Lieutenant Maryon Wilson, who BE-
longs to the well known Essex family
of that name, left Colchester on No
vember oath at midday, in charge Of
troopers, and made the best of his way
to Ipswich, where he passed the night.
and next day pressed on to Norwich,
halting at that city on Thursday night.
On Friday the little force set out on the
return journey, and arrived at the cavAl-
ry barracks, Colchester. before midday
on Saturday, the 9th, having safely
marched $50 miles without fatigue 70
men or horses, and without q single sore
back.

before been attempted in England.
Horses and men were carefully weighed.

be required in actual campaigning.
both before setting out and ON their
return, with the result of proving that
whereas the men gained weight to the
extent OF three or four pounds each.
their horses lost on an average nearly
fourteen pounds each horse.

HOUSE,.

WASHINGTON, January l5.-Norwood,
of Georgia, rose to question of privil.
ege in regard to the publication in to.
days New York World, in which the
name of T. M. Norwood appeared in
connection with the accounts of the
Central Pacific Railroad. Last night he
had been waited upon by representa-.
tive of that paper who asked whether
he had ever represented claim against
the Central Pacific or the Union Pacific.
He had forgotten which. he had replied,
and his statement had been published.
Nothing had been said in regard to the
Southern Pacific. He presumed he was
the Norwood mentioned in the account.
In 1885, year after his senatorial term
had expired, he had been engaged by
the Southern Pacific as counsel in a con.
test between that company and the Tex.
as Il Pacific, which ended two years sub.
sequently. His services had been rem
dered publicly, and what was mentioned
in the World he presumed to be fees
paid from time to time upon his regular
salary. This was his connection
with the case. How these items ap-
peared in the account of the Central
Pacific Company with the United States
he did not know. He never, in any
shape had any connection with the Cen.
tral Pacific or Union Pacific Company.

FRENCH'S STORY.

Says of 1t.
THE MISCELLANEOUS ACCOUNT.
Huntington Says French Wanted
to Sell Information Which
Had No Value.

Especial TO the Herald on the Associated Press.
New YORK, January l5.-The Daily
News this afternoon published the fol-
lowing as the substance of an inter
view with c. P. Huntington, President
Of the Central Pacific Railroad, on state
ments published in the World. He
said that the California papers had pub
lished similar articles before, and one OF
them said: "We had stolen $50, 600, 4.
600, and now it had been reduced to
81, 900, 900. The books of the company
had been and were open for inspection,
and the matter had probably been
looked into twenty times" "You cant" f"
he said, Run large corporation like
this without having large miscellaneous
expense account. You have to protect
your property. The matter is very old.
This has been before the public in one
form or another for many years. French
has been here to see me several times
about buying his information. He told
iho euue ho W Woo SoihS w JUL So "AAu ~
1 did not buy it, some other party
would. 1 told him 1 knew all about
the matter. and if he had any thing to
sell he had better show me something
1 did not know any thing about, as l
would not buy what knew all about.
We loaned Mr.. French money
to go into business, and he
atill owes us that. Some
correspondence passed between us about
the sale of his information. Here Mr..
Huntington had his letter book brought
to him and he read letter of his to
French dated January 9Th, which ended
the negotiations. Ia that letter Mr..
Huntington says in effect that AS Mr..
French had obtained hia information
while in the employ Of the government
it was a matter between French and the
government and not with Mr.. Hunting
ton. The latter had not heard since
from Mr.. French. "The young man
he said," alluding to Mr.. French. "was
impecunious and evidently wanted TO
make little money.

Special TO the Herald bu the Assocfated Press1
BERLIN. January l5.-The dissolution
OF the Reichstag has taken no party nm
awares. Preparations for a new cleo
tion have been actively psooee ling ever
since the decisions Of the military com-
mission showed that the defeat Of Tie
government was inevita BILE. The num-
Der of seats likely to be severely Con-
tested is estimated at fifty. Ofthsse
thirty-six are held by Progreasists and
fourteen by the Center Party. All
other seats are considered to be firmly
held. The fourteen seats of the Center
party which are imperilled are situated
in Southern Germany and were formerly
held by National Liberals. The govern
ment may win them back under pressure
of patriotic excitement, viii ch is running
high in the southern states, but the
general opinion continues to be-
against the chances of the governments
obtaining majority. Whatever may b
the result, the government will adhere
to the original demand. If the coming
Reichstag confirms the decision Of tbs
last one, Prince Bismarck may ignore
that body and apply to separate legis-
lature to sanction an increase of tho
army. This course is indicated in tho
passage of his speech, in which he re-
minded the Reichstag that the Emperor
is always able, as King of Prussia, to
appeal with confidence to the Prussian
Parliament for means for guarding
the Fatherland, or he may try for Pc
riod to rule without a budget. trusting
in the end to obtain a vote OF indemnity.

Special 10 the Herald oylhe Associated Press
PENSACOLA, Fla, January l5.-The
executive committee of the Coast De.
fense Association of the Coast Cities of
the South have issued the following cir.
cular: "We, the undersigned citizens
of the South and Gulf sea board, regard
with alarm the unprotected condition of
our cities, which, in their present de.
fenseless state, render them and our
homes liable to destruction or the exac-
tion of tribute, equally as ruinous, in
the event of war. This feeling of alarm
is intensified by the humilia ting fact
that single gunboat of any third rate
power may take possession of and de-
stroy any one of our seaport cities,
while we are unable to defend or offer
successful resistance. While the nation
has experienced q long blessing of peace
we cannot always expect this boon, and
it is imperative that our ports be placed
in state of defense. which would
alone have tendency to avert
war. We therefore recommend that a
convention be held at Defuniak
Springs. Florida, a central and con.
venient point, to convene on February
Sth, 1887, to counsel as to the best
method of securing protection for our
coast, based upon modern requirements.
We recommend that his Excellency,
President Cleveland, Hon. Secretaries of
War and Navy, both the committees Of
Congress on Military and Naval Affairs,
General Gilmore and Captain Green,
United States army, General Newton,
Hon. S. S. Cox, of New York, and 9th.

ernors of North Carolina, South Caro-.
lima. Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, and Texas, with four
delegates at large, and one from each

Governors of the above States, and dele
gates from the cities of the coast States.
We would gladly invite all coast States,

tine peace of the city. The following
resolution was adopted unanimously:
WHEREAS, The recent outrages com.
mitted in this city and county in the use
of explosives are wholly unjustitiable,
and stamp the perpetrators as vicious
and criminal characters, devoid of all
human feeling, and whose punishment
should be swift. sure and effective; and,
Whereas, The lives and safety of our
citizens have been and will be imperiled
if the reckless and cowardly acts com.
mitted in this city are permitted to oc-
cur. Now, therefore,
Resolved, That His Homer, the May
or, be, and he is hereby empowered to
offer reward in the sum of $500 for the
arrest and conviction of any person who
engages in the manufacture, or who car
ries, conveys, uses or discharges any ex-
plosive to endanger the lives or property
of our citizens, and also for the arrest
and conviction of any person who has
engaged in, instigated, encouraged, par.
ticlpated in or committed any such act.

last night, adopted resolution offering
800 reward for information that will
lead to the apprehension and conviction
of the perpetrators of the outrages.

. The M Measurement of the Year

The length of the year is strictly 365
days five hours forty-eight minutes forty.
nine seconds and seven tenths of Sec
ond-the time required for the revolu-
tion of the earth around the sun. About
As B. c. Julius Caesar, by the help of
Sosigines, an Alexandrean philosopher,
came to tolerably clear understanding
of the length of a year, and decreed that
every fourth year should be held to c on.
sist of 1856 days for the purpose of
absorbing the odd hours. By this rather
clumsy arrangement the natural time
fell behind the reckoning, as, in reality,
a day every fourth year is too much by
eleven minutes ten seconds and three.
tenths of second, so it inevitably fol.
lowed that the beginning of the year
moved onward ahead of the point at
which it was in the days of Caesar.
From the time of the Council of Nice, in
325 A. D., when the vernal equinox fell
correctly on the 2lst of March, Pope
Gregory found in 1882, A, D, that there
had been an overreckoning to the extent
OF ten days, and that the vernal equinox
fell on the llth of March. To correct
the past error he deereed that the 9th OF
October of that year should be reckoned
as the 10Th, and, to keep the year right
in future--the overplus being Is hours
81 minutes and 10 seconds in century,
ha ncJ Jaral hok rtoI
that could not be divided by four 100,
1900, 1900, 2l0O, 2200) should not be
bissextile, as it otherwise would be;
thus, in short, dropping the extra day
three times every 400 years. While in
Catholic countries the Gregorian style
was readily adopted, it was not so in
Protestant nations. In Britain it was
not adopted until 1852, by which time
the discrepancy between the Julian and
Gregorian periods amounted to eleven
days. An Act of Parliament was passed
debating that the Sd of September that
year should be reckoned the IA, and
three of every four centennial years
should be leap years; $500 not being
leap year, the new and old styles now
differ twelve days, our lst Of January
being equivalent to the 18th old style.
In Russia alone of Christian countries is
the old style retained. The old style is
still retained in the treasury accounts of
Great Britain. In old times the year
was held to begin on the 25th of March,
and this usage, or piece of antiquity, is
also still observed in the computations of
the Chancellor of the British Exchequer.
So the first day of the financial year is
the 9Th of April, being sold Lady Day."

Application Denied.

WASHINGTON, January l5.--Upon the
petition of citizens of Tulare and Fresno
counties in California. to the depart
ment of Justice, asking that suits be in
stituted by the Government to test the
title of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Conn pany to certain lands in those coun-
ties, on the ground that the rad was
not built on the line designed by the
State charter to said company, and that
the lands were settled upon prior to the
issue of patents to the railroad com.
pany. Land Commissioner Sparks has
regarded that the grant by Congress
was not for charter line under the
California act, but for line to be desig.
mated as provided by act of Congress,
making the grant and that the right of
settlers is determined by the date when
the railroad grant took effect upon the
lands, and not the dates when the pat.
ents were issued to the company. He
says that no cause exists for the suits
asked. and recommends that the appl-
cations be denied.

Salt Lake who has been visiting Chicago
for several months. "And do you OBJ.

The woman is a daughter of Brigham
Young, and have known her since she
was child. She would know me if she
should see me, and hope that she won't
for she would feel annoyed. She mar
ried Gentle and shook Mormondom.
Old Brig disinherited her, and her hus.
band lost his sight after they had gone
east to live. Young endeavored in every
way possible to get her back to Utah
and the faith, and even to. this day she
would acquire large fortune if she
would give up her husband and 60 back,
or even if she would bring him INTO the
Church, but she utterly refuses to do
such q thing, and grinds that organ to
support that poor old blind fellow whom
she loves and who loves her. This is no
fairy tale. It's cold drawn, home made

The Utah man gave a girl SIS gold
piece, asking her to put it in the organ
grinders box, then he slid around the
corner while the club man watched the
effect. The woman seemed at first to
pay no attention to the coin, thinking,
perhaps, that it was q penny. and the
girl ran away. But in few seconds the
woman stopped in the middle Of the best
tune that the organ was capable of,
then picked mp the coin, looked anxiously
after the fleeing girl, and, wiping the
tears from her eyes, whispered some.
thing to her blind mate, and the two
went away, the man carrying the organ

BOLD TRAIN ROBBERY.

n1ttOms
PITTsBURG, January Is. Five masked
robbers boarded a Pan Handle freight
train near Sheridan Station, just at the
outskirts of this city, last night, and
were detected in the act of throwing
valuable freight from the train. In a
desperate fight which ensued fireman
Curley was shot through the right thigh
and a brakeman was knocked senseless,
the robbers escaping. The latter had
set three brakes to make the train move
slowly, and this fact led to their detec.
tion.
1t is thought that the robbers secreted
themselves in the car before the train
left this city and as soon as they were
beyond the city limits forced open the
doors. They then broke open the car
doors and threw out number of guns
and quantity of ammunition. 1t is
thought the men got away with some of
the arms Several theories have been
advanced as to why the cars were Sc.
lected that were loaded with arms.
1t is thought by some persons that
the gang may have been anarchists and
that they were trying to secure rifles
and ammunition for future use. They
evidently seemed to have known before
hand what the contents Of the cars were.
